[spoiler]Saturday's quote:
DS 1991 Ep #7 (-1897) - Peter - 'All right. I will not try to understand. But if you wish to stay, you MUST convince them that you are sane.'

From SHADOWS IN THE '90s: The Dark Shadows Concordance 1991 - PLOT SUMMARIES - EPISODE SEVEN:

And the summary paraphrase the quote but gets the points across...

And as I've done previously when it comes to the '91 Series, I used a screen capture from the TGG Direct DVD release that's the same dimensions as the ones from the original series -


- because even though that release also doesn't have the correct color timing like the VHS release does -


- also like the VHS release, it has the correct aspect ratio, plus it even tends to show a bit more of the frame and it's clearer than the VHS.

And even though the MGM DVD release, like the TGG Direct release, tends to be clearer than the VHS, frustratingly, the aspect ratio is cropped from 4X3 to 16X9 -



And just a reminder, we've seen notations like "DS 1991 Ep #7 (-1897)" before and in this case it means that the quote should have come from the 1897 storyline but that one doesn't have any more eps that haven't been quoted from.

And this is the fourth quote from this ep. The first (Peter - 'Then you MUST NOT go back to the manor. For if they think you are mad, they will ship you off to the madhouse and that is a fate worth weeping over') was back on October 1st of 2024, the second (Barnabas - 'Miss Winters, I MUST warn you. My aunt might appear eccentric, but she can be very dangerous'), was back on December 11th of 2025, and the third (Jeremiah - 'Well, this MUST be the pretty young lady that's causing such a stir') was back on August 12th.

(And there will be many more eps coming up without "must" lines...)

That Mrs. Stoddard was going to replace you with some waitress

 

Complete the phrase: Mrs. Johnson - "I'm telling you, Miss Winters, it was really a nightmare around here while you were missing. I mean, no one would come right out and say it, but we were all sure...!!"

[spoiler]Friday's quote:
Ep #522 (1968[-1969/1970]) - Nicholas - 'Such an interesting house, very European. I seem to sense all the secrets it MUST be hiding.'

From "Robservations 6/14/02 - #521/522 - Enter Nicholas Blair!"

10 o'clock - Roger says there will be no news of Cassandra tonight, and offers to show Nicholas to his room. He bids good night to Julia and Barnabas, telling the latter he will see him again soon, he's certain. Barn agrees.

After Roger leads Nicholas away, Barn and Julia discuss him.

[/spoiler]

The Robservations doesn't reference the quote at all, but it comes up as Roger leads Nicholas out of the drawing room...

And this is the third quote from this ep. The first (Roger - 'Oh, I've been selfish. My life here is so settled, it's been hard for me to realize that it MUST be hard for someone new to fit in here') was back on July 25th of 2024, and the second (Nicholas - 'No, no, no, you MUSTN'T. Once I'm here she will turn up. We have that effect on each other. We're more than brother and sister-- we've always been great friends') was back on July 29th of 2024. Apparently we only like to quote Nicholas from the ep. 

And just a reminder, we've seen notations like "(1968[-1969/1970])" before and in this case it means that the quote should have come from the Leviathans storyline but that one doesn't have any more eps that haven't been quoted from so a quote from the Vicki/Jeff-Cassandra/The Dream Curse-Adam/Eve/Nicholas storyline was substituted.
